Screws: Laterally loaded timber to timber end grain

We are thrilled to release the Laterally Loaded Timber-to-Timber End Grain Module, a powerful tool for engineers designing connections with screws subjected to lateral loads. This specialized calculator ensures accuracy and flexibility for timber connection designs.

Key Features:

• Design Codes: Supports three design codes for laterally loaded screws: EN 1995:2004, AS 1720:2010, and prEN 1995:2023.
• Supplier Input: Input screws from top suppliers like Rothoblass, Eurotec, Sihga, Spax, and Simpson’s Strong Tie.
• Manual Input: Allows manual entry of screw parameters, including dimensions and material properties.
• Flexible Calculations: Perform calculations based on the selected supplier’s ETA document or design code.
• Dynamic Diagrams: Interactive diagrams that update based on your input data, visualizing load paths and screw performance.
• Comprehensive Summaries: Detailed summaries with geometry checks and shear capacity utilization, providing reliable data for design decisions.
• End Grain Connections: Specifically designed to calculate timber connections with screws fixed on the end grain direction.

This specialized calculator helps engineers ensure strong, reliable, and accurate timber connections under lateral loads.
